Tann : a Nom.. LITERATURE. By, the Author of NoZYIwo." S vols. London, 1826. The fashion of writing what are called Religious Novels, has of late become unusually . ptsvislent. It is to be presumed, therefore, that they find no incon siderable'number of admiring readers. Whether the work before us is to be classed. among the number is to us a matter of some doubt : if that title is to be given in consequence of nine-tenths of the letter-press being occupied with di scuss i ons on re li g i ous top i cs , without reference to the tendency of such discussion, the present work may certainly claim such a title ; but a novel it c an hardly be called—the story is barely a connected- series of events ; there is no plot—no mystery —no family -secrets, and the heroine does nothing, and comes to nothing. At the same time many parts of the work possess a considerable degree of interest ; and this arises from the able delineation of die characters, and the powerfig touches, whether (J£ graver or lighter description, with which they are pourtrayed. Thus far we can give unqualified praise. rite writer possesses an evident cleverness in this depart ment ; but in some more important parts of what he has undertaken, he has unfortunately evinced not only a total want of the most essential qualifications, a know ledge of religious subjects, and the faculty of reason ing upon them, but, we are sorry to say, a most insi dious hostility against Christianity. We will, however, proceed to a brief sketch of his de sign. A. Scottish con n try gentleman of large property has been linked in wedlock to a most un congenial spouse. The husband is a generous liberal-minded high-spirited man, of a Jacobite family and Episcopalian principles ; but, as we think, not overburthened, either with prac tical discretien or powers of reasoning, and having but a very slight knowledge of the religious faith he Iwo fesses. The wife is a' sour, illiberal, bigotted Pres byterian, of the straitest sect, of the Calvinistic school, and most firmly persuaded of her husband's entire re probation. Under these circumstances a daughter is born unto them. The mother, aided by a puritanical nursery-maid and governess, frightens the poor. child almost to death with the horrors of predestination. 'ne father asserts his authority, and emancipates her from this tyranny, to educate her on a plan . 61 his own. She is encouraged from the earliest age to form her own opinions, and judge entirely f or h erse lf i n reli gious matters, without the least reference to her com petency to do so ; and, above all, never, on any ac count, to conceal her sentiments. She accordingly, on all ocrsasions, with a disgusting nnivet6 broaches all her, childish objections and difficulties on religious subjects, with an air of the most profound wisdom. From the way in which she has been brought up, Christianity and Calvinism are to her mind synoni rnous ; and dins, at first, a very plausible ground is af forded for her objections. With these her father : at tempts to argue, but seldom gets further than some very general and evasive reply, and a postponement of the debat e . F rom the ten e t s o f Calvinism, the young lady's objections speedily extend themselves to the peculiar doctrines of Christianity in general, and by degrees the truth . of revelation altogether seems to her involved in insuperable difficulty. These dis cussions are carried on through the main part of the woes.; and as the father never produces any thing like a satisfactory reply, the objections of the daughter are of course left to take their full hold upon the mind of every reflecting and reasoning young lady or gentle man who may take up the volume ; and will doubtless be supposed unanswerable. To any one tolerably versed in the subject, and ca pable of reasoning at all upon it, the arguments will not fail to appear as they really are, most absurd and illogical conclusions from most partial and mistaken premises ; but we are inclined to fear that to too many youthful minds, who may take up the work for amusement, a 'subtile and insidious poison may be conveyed before they are aware of it. Ile young lady is held up as a model of bold and original thinking ; and to exem plify it, she rakes up all the often-repeated and as of ten-refuted objections, which all the host of deistical and semi-deistical scribblers for the last century have brought against 4tripture. ,The facts upon which she reasons are (w e believe we can say), without excep mieetxted ; and this in a way which could be oc casioned, by nothing but the most absolute inattention to th real scope and design of the sacred writings.— Tke language too : in which she states her objections, -;.S of the most arrogant and revolting description : nor is her determined positiveness in maintaining her con :call, as most irrefragable, certainly less remarkable, than the curious perversions of the New Testament, which are held up as genuine Christianity, and made the subjects of attack. The arguments (if such they may be called), are all of one kind, viz. reasoning upon the divine attributes, as if they were human moral qualities ; measuring infinity by the standard of our conceptions, and rejecting every thing which does not square with our vain notions. In short, if our columns were a proper arena for theological-discussion, we could easily point out in numerable instances as well of the, fallacy and absur dity of our anthor's unanswered .objections, as of the insidious and most reprehensible way which they are left to take their hold upon the mind of the un wary reader. We shall conclude by earnestly intreat ing that no head of a family' will suffer this work to find admission into his house : and we doubt not that its innate dulness, and the tiresome prolixity of its discussions, will effectually prevent its doing any ex tensive mischief. SUMMER ASSIZES. SALISBURY, Jinx I I. CIVIL 51D8,..-IitIiPPARD v. GULLIVER This was an action brought for the price of a horse, SI. 10s., alleged to have been sold to the defendant in June, 1821, Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Si. 10s. CROWN SIDE—Ros a / a y BY A YORTLINE-TZLI YR, Ann Hill, a respectable-looking %valour' ' aged sed in the dec a yed finery of a century and it half bark Ire , was put. to the bar, charged with having feloniously taken from the person of Mary Arm Body, 3s. and sundry articles of wearing apparel. By 'the testimony of Mary'Ann 'Body, 'an exeeedingly pretty girl of IS years of age, it appeared that th e p r i soner had seduced her to part with various sums of mon e y, an d almost the whole of her stock of wearing apparel, u n d e r the pretence of getting a rich and handsome partner for life. At length, wearied by the frequent denuurds of the sybil, without any appearance of an issue to her love-suit,' the girl declined making any further advances. Upon this she was threatened with having the power of motion and speech taken from her, and a reversal of the promises already made. The witness had often, upon occasions of this kind, taken otf her flannel petticoat to meet, the insa tiate demands of the fortune-teller. Witness, at this time, was living as nursery-maid to Mr. Chubb, of Malmesbury. The constable of Westport, at which plaCe the prisoner dwelt, produced a complete wardrobe of the c lothes of the witness, found in the possession of Ann Hill, or of others to whom she had sold them. Amongst the arts employed by the prisoner to impose upm% the imagination of her dupe was the following letter, which had been 'written 'under her dictation by a woman of the name of Tooth, letter-writer in ordinary to the vile Ise community to which she belonged, at the moderate inarge of twopence halfpenny per letter, love-letters being at a premium of one halfpenny over and above the common 11.111 "Dear Marx 'Ain);-4 tae' the earliest opportunity of writing this feiv lint% in hopesltit find you in good health, as I am but vcrY poorly at present, and I am uneasy in my mind to think I was, disappointed in not seeing you on Sunday last.

From your affectionate lover till death, " WILLIAM PAGE." Addressed.—=" Dear Mary Ann this comes by hearer Ann Hill." this bpistle was represented as the genuine effusion of an ardent admirer, who was about to present himself, and make the anxious girl his bride. The charge being clearly established against the pri soner, she was called on for her defence. She contented lierself with simply denying the offence, saying—" My 'Lord, it is all false swearing, and is false charges got up against me by the two liars (lawyers) and the girl—liar Chubb and another liar." The Jury, after a very short consultation, brought in a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Justice GASELEE then addressed himself to the Tni soner. He said he would abstain for the present from passing the sentence of the law upon her, in order that he might take time to consider whether there was any thing in her case to enable him to recommend her to mercy. Had she not been, from her age, upon the very brink of the grave, there was very little doubt she would never have been allowed to see this country again. Her offence was of a very grave nature; and he was most anxious that it should be publicly known, as a warning to labile who were engaged in a similar system of plunder, by working on the credulity and fears of weak girls, that the offence was nothing less than a capital felony. The prisoner was then removed from the bar, imploring mercy from his Lordship. There were other charges of a similar nature against her, but they were not gone into. LINCOLN, TUXBDAY, JULY 11. CIVIL RIDE..—.LIIIEL......IIIIAWBEY V. BA amt. Mr. M‘DowEtt, opened the pleadings. It was an ac. tion for libel. The declaration stated, that the defendant had published a certain scandalous and defamatory libel concerning the plaintiff, imputing to him the commission of the most unnatural offences, and that the publication was followed by certain slanderous words, conveying a similar imputation upon the plaintiff's character. The defendant had to the charge of libel pleaded the general issue, and to the other parts of the declaration he had justified. The plaintiff replied, that there was no truth in these justifications, and upon this issue was joined. Mr. DENMAN stated the case to the jury. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, with whom was Mr. CLARKE, addressed the jury for the defendant. Verdict , for the plaintiff—Damages 2001. CI-IP.LMSFORD, Wentisswor, Jul:lr 12. fIAT. This was an action for assault and battery. Plea, the general issue. The case went to the Jury, and, under the learned Judge's directions, they found their verdict for the plain tiff—Damages, 301. PAULL; lIX. V. SMITH. This was an action for assaulting and battering the plaintiff's wife. The July, under the learned Judge's directions, found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 30s. Tlia KlatO v 1101.11tXX AND OTIMII. This was an information, filed by the Attorney-General, for offering a bribe to two of the Smuggling Preventive Service, to allow the defendants to land a quantity of un eustomed goods on the coast of Essex. The only defendant who appeared to take his trial was Bourne. No substantial defence was offered, and the defendant was found Guilty. CHOWN SIDE. George Wright, :Mums Wright, Naomi Wright, and Mary Wright, were indicted for hurglariously 'breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Joseph Morris on the night of the 11th of April last, at Langley, and stealing therein various articles of wearing -apparel, and a quantity of gold and silver coin, exceeding the value of 504, his property. The prisoners denied their guilt. An attempt was made to set up an alibi, which, however, failed. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence with great minuteness, and the Jury acquitted Mary Wright, on the ground that she must be presumed to have acted under the controul of her husband; and they found the other prisoners Guilty. Mr. Baron GRAHAM passed the awful .sentence of the law upon the convicted prisoners, and held out no hopes of mercy to the male prisoners. All the prisoners had been convicted of felony at the late Assizes for Hertford. YORK, TUESDAY, July 11. mu. SIDE,-11112 ICING V. SOVTEA. Mr. COL.TM4N stated this case to the jury. The pro secutor was a gentleman named Gleadow, who had been .compelled to prefer the indictment against the Defendant fora gross assault committed by the latter on the 2d of January last. The parties had formerly been intimate, and on the day in question the Defendant's wife drank tea at the Prosecutor's house, in company with the Prosecu tor and his wife. At the close of the evening they ac companied her home, and on the road met her husband, who immediately manifested a very quarrelsome disposi tion, and struck his wife for having been absent from home. The Prosecutor having interfered to prevent her from being ill-used, her husband became so enraged, that he drew a pistol from his pocket, and presented it at the Prosecutor's face, the pistol being at that time loaded with shot. Fortunately for both parties, a third gentleman happened to be present, and he knocked the pistol out of the Defendant's hand, and prevented any of those danger ous consequences that might have ensued from the acci dental explosion of the pistol, or from any other cause, if indeed the Defendant had intended any thing beyond frightenint! the Prosecutor. The Prosecutor, after detailing the case, said, that " the pistol was loadecl--we have got it here." Mr. Justice Park—" For God's sake ! what ! a loaded pistol here r Witness. Only with small shot." Mr. Justice,Park.—" Go out of court and unload it; but bring the contents in afterwards."—(great laughter.) Mr. Park, for the Defendant, said, 4 t My Lord, there are only 6 41 °L"—(renewed laughter.) 3 The Jury found the Defendant guilty; and his Lord ship, in order to obviat e t h e necessity London, su ggested of the Defendant's taking a long and expe ns i ve j ourney an arrangement, by which the. Prosecutor should abstain to from calling for the judgm en t o f t h e Court of K i ng ' s B enc h, on the Defendant's paying th e costs o f t h e prosecu tion, cu • and giving a small sum to some charity in Null. Both the parties agreed to the arrangement, and the sum named was five pounds.

The Jury ttequitted the prisoners ; and on the applica tion of Doyle, Mr: Baron Hullock ordered that whatever had begin taken &um them should be returned: i' iE lii[i'r. . I. • • • John lioid.swarth, Wham. Bolton, Edward Marsh, An ihony miller, aid Henry Town, were severally arraigned ter rioting in this county, and destroying , mills at Ad dinbain. Holdsworth and Bolton were first pot oii their trial. _ _ Mr. Hardy stated the case for the prosecution. James Gladden—l was M Messrs: Horsfill's mill on th 3d o f May, when the attack was made upon it; John Holdsworth stones; was he was walki ng amongst t h e mo b j there; he three wi n d ows i n t h a t part of carrying he the mill, and two of these were taken out and filled up with great stones, to cast upon the mob, if they should attack the great gate. I heard somebody say, " Stick to it, my lads, we shall soon get in ;" but I don't know that Holdsworth said so; after Colonel Tempest came, they were running away, and he called them to come back and hear the Riot Act read; they did come back, and the Riot Act was read; Holdsworth then spoke, and when Colonel Tempest tried to interrupt him, he said, " Silence, Sir, let me speak." There were about 300 or 400 p e ople in the mob ; there might be some hundreds watching -them Samuel Hill, who was also in the mill, swore he saw Bolton fling one stone with his left hand ; no windows could be broken on that side. Cross-examined by Bolton—He did not know Bolton till after this transaction; had seen hi m b e f ore , b ut did no t know his name: When Bolton heard this statement, he addressed the witness in a most pathetic tone, and asked him whether they had not been brought up together, and whether he did not know him as well as his own brother ? Hill coldly answered this interrogatory in the negative, and persisted in his denial, though Bolton attempted to recall their former intimacy, by reminding him of an ac cident that had happened to him (Bolton) some years since. Mr. Hardy.—That is my case. Mr. Baron Hullock.—That is not at all like the case you opened, Mr. Hardy. The prisoner Holdsworth, in his defence, said he had gone to the town for medicine for his child, and when he heard of the riot, he went up to the mill, and seeing a boy shot, he said to the mob, " Lads, don't go at the mill, for mill is man's castle, and if they shoot ye all, ye can't do any thing at 'em." Bolton also admitted having been present, but not till after the riot was over, and denied the charge, declaring he could not throw a stone, for he had lost the use of his right side eight years ago by a fit. The Jury retired at half-past five o'clock, and had re. turned no verdict at ten o'clock, when our reporter came sway. YORK, WEDNESDAY, THRICE A.M. (It/CCISIVED THIS DAY.) At half-past twelve o'clock the Jury came into Court, and returned a verdict finding Holdsworth Guilty, and Bolton Not Guilty; at the acme time recommending Holdsworth to mercy. Mr. Baron HmocK.—Upon what grounds, Gentle men, do you found that recommendation? - - Foreman.—We consider the case not very aggravated. Mr. Timothy Horsfall stood up, and begged - as one of the prosecutors to join in the recommendation. Mr. Baron litimocit said it shouldbe forwarded to the proper_ quaster. The* priaoner Holdsworai seemed dreadfully agitated, which powerfully increased when called upon by the Clerk of the Arraigns in the usual way, for any thing he had to offer why sentence of death should not be pro nounced against him, to die according to law. Holdsworth (clasping his hands).—" 0, my Lord! don't. I assure your Lordship lam innocent of the riot; I did not throw any, stones, nor break the windows, t the witnesses have sworn. y Lord, I have a poor mily, and they will be left without a father; if I am to die they will all starve. 0, have mercy on me f my Lord, have mercy !" The unfortunate and misguided man was scarcely audible from his grief. Mr. Baron Hullock upon recording sentence of death, observed, that as long as law existed, st(ch excesses could never be permitted in this country, and although possibly the prisoners life might be spared, yet to' make him and others understand they could not act in such a manner with impunity, he must be severely punished. The prisoner was then removed. OXFORD CIRCUIT--WORCESTER, JULY 11. CROWN SIDE. William Evans was indicted for having on the 24 , th of June last, broken into, and entered the dwelling house of Henry Harbour and James Jones, situated at Hanley Castle, in the day time, no person being therein, and stealing a metal watch, and six penny-worth of halfpence. He was found guilty accordingly, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment and hard labour. Francis Penn and Amelia Penn,husbandand wife, were indicted for having feloniously broken open the dwelling house of James Bartley, at Rushock, on the 23d of May lest—Amelia Penn, Not Guilty—Francis Penn, Guilty— Death. Elizabeth Hornsby was indicted for stealing an anvil and a hammer, the property , of Edward Perks, of Red ditch ; but as the prosecutor could not identify the • pro perty, the Jury found her Not Guilty. James Thomas was indicted for a highway robbery, committed upon John Daniel, on the 11th of April last, at St. Peter's parish, in this county. Mr. Justice BURROVGIT charged the Jury, and they found the prisoner Guilty—Death. John Wton ' an ill-looking fellow, was indicted for a common assault committed upon one John Crump. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. ALJ3I. A murder has just, been committed within two miles of this place, but under such circumstances, that according to the French laws it will be deemed justifiable homicide. An industrious labourer named Brand, was married last week to a very handsome young girl, whom he had been He courting upward s o f 18 mont h s . had every reason to believe that she was much attached to him : the nuptial ceremony had been performed at an earlier period than he intended, in con sequence o f h er ea rnest ent reat i es to ma k e her happy.

Whilst at work with several other men, one of them, speaking of the marriage, said, that the young woman must feel happy in being left alone.

The corps of Janissaries. formerly the pride and strength of the Ottoman Empire, is HOW its disgrace. Taken from the t:::1 8 of the populace; addicted to every vice, they are without disci pline, and even without bravery. They are so slovenly, that many are seen at reviews without musket or sabre.

Morning,,,,,;, by minute' after g i , I Evening minutes after g. he fate of his predecessor SELiia HI., who perished in a l e insurrection of the Janissaries, excited by the Bathe cause about twenty years ago, may have stimu lated him to prompt and decisive measures, by whic in all probability, his life and his throne have alone been preserved. Perhaps too an insurrection might have been anti cipated, and measures of precaution adopted in con sequence ; for it could hardly have been expected that such a lawless band as the Janissaries are' known to be, would submit to be placed under European discipline without revoltigg against the autho ity which they have so frequently resisted with success. The Janissaries are stated to be dividecl into 160 Orlas or 'Regiments, each estimated at 1000 ; 40,000 men remain as a permanent garrison at ConstaiNinople ; the remainder are distributed through the provii:ces of the empire. Formerly the corps of the Janissa:ies were the pride and strength of the Ottoman Empire--now they are its disgrace. Taken from the dregs of tbe, op pa l ace, addicted to every vice, they are without discipline, and even without bravery ; they are so slovenly thi.`t mans ate seen at reviews without musket or sabre. The debasement of this corps may be ascribed prin• cipally to the Mariner in which it is recruited. Christiait renegadoes, Jews, Pagua, all are accepted who are in need of the wretched soup the Sultan causes to be given to his comrades, for he is himself inscribed pu the list of the Janissaries. With respect to the observations of the Etoile that this revolt will probably render the Divan more acre , - siblc to the representation of the European Powers' we confess that we are inclined to form a differeNt # P Pi nion of its probable effect upon the Councils 01 t he Porte. Experience has never shown that success los rendered the Ottoman Government less arrogant, o r more reasonable : and the extermination (if it Pl° taken place as stated) of those who constantly e n* danger the tranquillity of the Empire, will rather , Ws think, add to the confidence and presumption of its Rulers. As long as the standard of Mahomet, who displayed, can rally round it a whole population , a nd the doctrines of the Koran command its servitude , ft ' naticism will age the Divan to pursue with redde st vengeance its object of effecting the subjugation a nd slavery of the Christian inhabitants of Greece, as a re ' volted Province. It is not therefore in the effect wh ich temporary anarchy in the Capital, can produce that v ' c look for the establishment of the t h at unhappy of unhappy Country. That object will be efferted by th e native spirit of its people, directed and influenced as L t will shortly be, by the energies of a man whose manic P' such a cause is a tower of strength. Dutch Papers to the 11th inst. have been received' They mention that the Batavia Gazette of the m March contains several important decrees respecting the currency in the Colonies. Most of the decrees are stated to be dated the end of February or the ba' ginning of March. By 'the first, the Indiao Florin is fixed upon as the standard, and divided into 2 0 S tis vers ; and it is ordered that all Rupees, excel): th e : Sicca Rupee, should be exchanged within ten days, a' the rate of 20 Stivers for 30 Indian Stivers, and OP that time, be no longer taken in payment in the pubil e i offices.
